TIFF is here! Finally!!! Feels like Christmas with all of the major actors and actresses descending upon our city! Yesterday two huge (not size-wise) leading ladies hit the red carpet for premieres of their respective movies at the Toronto International Film Festival – Jennifer Connelly for “Creation” and Penelope Cruz for “Broken Embraces”. Both are absolutely gorgeous, but to me Pene is the clear winner. Glowing skin, beautiful dress (aimed to conceal a bun in the oven?), long legs, and no-fuss hair and makeup. Stunning! Jennifer’s dress just doesn’t do it for me. The length is off and the fit is a little weird. On the positive side though, the face and the hair – gorgessity! Love both of them! But definitely not enough to stalk them around town. Ewan, Clive, Ed and Colin (Firth not Farrell)…for those I’ll stalk, beg, sneak…whatever it takes. Anyway, back to the girls…who’s your fave? Jen or Pene?

I don’t know how I feel about Scarlett Johansson replacing Penelope Cruz as the new face of Mango for the Autumn/Winter 09 campaign. I actually really like them both as actresses, but style-wise…Scarlett does not dress well. She does have an occasional hit, but more often than not, I find that she dresses rather…frumpy. And while Pene and her sister Monica actually had a say in what went into the collection, looks like Scarlett is not lending her creativity to this project, only her “image”. Needless to say, am very curious to see how it turns out!
